Leading medical experts and scientists team up with celebrity activists to help parents detoxify and green their households.

Nothing makes one more keenly aware of health risks lurking in the everyday world than becoming a parent. Most know the importance of using cabinet locks and child gates, but research is showing many more ways we need to be childproofing our homes. Tens of millions of American children now face chronic diseases and illnesses including cancer, autism, asthma, birth defects, ADD/ADHD, allergies, learning and developmental disabilities, as well as a host of lesser but disruptive ailments. And the growing research points to much of the increases on unseen threats wrought by exposure to chemicals in everyday products like cleaning supplies, beauty care and cosmetics, home furnishings, plastics, some foods and toys as contributing to these ailments. With that in mind, the non-profit organization Healthy Child Healthy World offers parents a definitive guide to creating a healthy, nontoxic, and environmentally sound home.

Filled with easy steps and simple solutions to improve family living without wreaking havoc on schedules or budgets, this book includes inspiring ideas for safe, eco-friendly cleaning methods, choosing healthier food, pet and garden care, nursery and home building materials, plus extensive tips for energy saving and family fun. With contributions from environmental science and public-health experts such as Dr. Phil Landrigan, Dr. Harvey Karp and Dr. Alan Greene, as well as many celebrity supporters (including Gwyneth Paltrow, Brooke Shields, Tobey Maguire, Sheryl Crow, Vanessa Williams, and Tom Hanks), Healthy Child Healthy World is the essential guidebook for parents wanting to go green.

Excellent Resource

As a father of two I'm always reading parenting articles with helpful tips, but this book puts everything you need in one easy to read place. It's full of information that we need and I'm telling all the parents I know about this book. Nice job Mr. Gavigan and your Healthy Child organization, keep up the great work!


An Amazing Eye Opener

This book is one of the best books on the market for eye opening eco factors that were destroying our planet and lives with, and how to change for the better, I would completly recommend this book for parents and even non-parents, due to the fact that everybody should know about what the real truth is. I love this book and have not even finished it, I have already changed most if not all of my cleaning ways, eating habits and looked on the back of every bottle at the ingredients. Its disgusting to know what our manufactures and government get away with selling us for the almighty doller. Im grateful to the author and applaud him for helping me and hopefully millions change for the better, and for the new edition in my family that will be born to cleaner way of living that I can pass on to her, THANK YOU for this book Christopher Gavigan, I am recommending this book to everyone I know.

Thank you again from a soon to be a first time mother,
Deirdre

Wonderful resource for new parents

I've been very impressed with this book so far (I'll admit I still have a chapter to go). I wish this book was available a year ago when I was expecting my first child. It addresses so many issues that I spent hours researching on the internet. I would highly recommend this book for anyone with a young child. Kudos to Health Child Healthy World for their efforts in keeping our children safe.
